Electrical connector

摘要

The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrical connector for attachment to post-type terminals of electrical equipment which would allow for an easy attachment to the terminals and would cover the terminals in a fully-connected state. This is accomplished by a terminal (22) made by bending a blank stamped from a conductive sheet material and it comprises a first tubular section (22a) in which a core (21a) of cable (21) is secured by crimping and of a second tubular section arranged approximately perpendicularly to the first tubular section. The terminal (22) mounted to an inner housing (23) and the cable core (21) secured thereto are enveloped in an outer housing (26) by an over-molding method. The outer housing (26) has openings (26c) which engage latching arms (13) of the battery (10) when the second tubular section (22b) is placed over the post-type terminal (11).
